Here is a screen shot of a way to determine the country of final assembly for different vehicles. Whether you are strolling the dealer's lot or if you want to check a vehicle you already own, just take a look at the VIN.
How To Identify Country Of Final Assembly From VINS
- Thread starter Snagglefoot
- Start date
So far I've owned J, 1 and W
My 2019 Audi Q5 assembled in Mexico but starts with a W which is Germany....Shouldn't it be a 3
Iran?
Turkey. The Transit Connects are built there and all come over as passenger vans to skirt pass the chicken tax.
My S60R began with a Y VIN and it was built in Belgium.
That chart works when the OEMs follow the rules. They don't always follow the rules.
When BMW's Greer SC plant started up, they initially assigned W-prefixes to their vehicles.
Only later, and after being chided did they switch to the 4USC numbers.
My old Volvo 740 was also assembled in the Ghent, Belgium plant, but had a YV1 number.

Sometimes this information can be found on the Monroney sticker.

L is for China. Some buicks are made in China.
I could care less where my vehicle is made.
